Congradulations.... It looks very miind taxing to get everything just right. It is beautiful.

Some may say that is great craftsmanship, but this is truly art. I applaud you and every scroll sawyer that have raised the level of scroll sawing to a true art form. I applaud your efforts, and the results Sawtooth. I look forward to the book you now must write explaining the process.

Thank you very much... I see it that way, too. But I'd be nowhere if it weren't for the generosity of the many scrollers and wood artists who publish their patterns and methods in magazines, books, and online.

My first exposure to Steve Garrison's work 2 years ago made me feel the same way... he skipped all the "usual suspects" in the world of scroll sawing (fretwork, intarsia, compound, portrait, boxes, bowls, etc) and created a new method in order to achieve something brand new using his scroll saw. It caught my attention and my imagination and I worked hard to make artistic sea shells using his methods.

Earlier this year on the Lumberjocks website there was an unrelated project that made reference to a woodturner's book, which I then looked up online... I then discovered another amazing journey into new art forms in wood. Malcom Tibbets is a renowned woodturner... but I couldn't use his methods even if I wanted too. So I felt challenged to re-create his art using only our favorite tool, the scroll saw. I described most of how I did the Wavy Ribbon, and a "cousin" to it that is called "Orb" on the Lumberjocks.com website:

If anyone is looking for similar challenges in wood art, go to Steve Garrison's website... and to Tahoe Turner, Segmented Wood Turning by Malcolm J Tibbetts to see the masterful woodturning of Malcom Tibbetts. (BTW, Steve Garrison is giving a seminar to demonstrate the basic seashell method at the SAW Expo in Springfield, MO in July... I'll be there, too.)

Sawtooth, you are definetley a quality Artist. I would say too, a Creator of fine wood Art. It's a pleasure to see someones labor's put into something as beautiful as this piece of Art. Congratulations on the well deserved Award. I don't think I would have the patience to put everything together just to get ready for the cutting. Thank you for showing us.

SawTooth · 05-13-2012, 12:20 AM

Thank you... I'm blushing.

Haggard3230 · 06-28-2012, 01:38 AM

That is awesome Sawtooth, I will be at the EXPO too.

SawTooth · 06-28-2012, 04:25 AM

Merle,
I look forward to seeing you there.
My project for SAW Expo will be an advanced version of this ribbon, which will have more components and will have a 'mobius strip' effect to it. I am working on it now.
